An Act prohibiting body size discrimination

This bill adds protections against discrimination based on height and weight to Massachusetts' existing anti-discrimination laws. It amends multiple sections of the General Laws (including employment, housing, and public accommodations laws) to explicitly include "height or weight" as protected characteristics alongside other categories like race or sex. The law includes a key exception allowing height or weight requirements only when necessary for established safety standards, such as in aviation or industrial settings. This change directly affects employers, landlords, and service providers in Massachusetts, requiring them to avoid unfair treatment related to body size in covered areas.
